Using #ZFS auto snapshots via #zfstools and remote backup with #zxfer on my newly rebuilt #FreeBSD Linode VPS. This has been a good backup strategy for me in the past and I'm sure it will continue to do so into the future.

Today I met my personal project goal to get #zfstools working on my #FreeBSD VPS for #ZFS auto-snapshots and then use #zxfer to automatically send those snapshots to my remote backup host.

I have been looking for a good backup solution using #ZFS with my #FreeBSD machines. Thinking about #zxfer to backup my FreeBSD VPS back to the home #FreeNAS server. I just wish I could find better documentation and/or tutorials out there for setting up and using zxfer.
